Justice Gillian in 1874 drew the tax
law which has been largely discussed of
late, Mr. Gillian said to a reporter yester-
dav that it was true that he was retained
By joint committee OF the legislature in
1874 to frame law governing tax titles,
and that he drew up 35 or 40 of the 100
sections contained in the law, but that these
had been 50 greatly changed by various
amendments as to be scarcely recognizable
as the same as were framed by him
thirteen years ago. Although not a
part of the article published yester-
day in the GLOBE, the charge has
been made by certain newspapers through
out the state that MI. Gilhllan had himself
dealt in taX-titIes and it was for that reason
that he supports the law as it now stands.
When his attention was called to this
charge. the chief justice INDUCED in very
hearty laugh and said: mo, have never
dealt in tax-titles. and you may deny that
charge if you think it worth while. 1t is
certainly very absurd. Since l have been
on the bench have even refused to accept
a tax-tite for property, thinking that
might possibly at some time have occasion
to take official action upon it, as has re-
Gently happened. No, they can't charge
me with having personal interests at stake. .

A SUNDAY ROoE ANNUAL.
Interesting Reports and Presenta.

Interesting Reports and Presenta.
tom Exercises at the First Baptist
Church.
Yesterday was annual day in the Sunday
school of the First Baptist church. Reports
for 1886 were read of the secretary and
treasurer. George Hallowell; manager of
primary department, Mrs. John Randall,
and general superintendent. T. S. Temp
kins. All of the departments showed de-
cided and very healthy growth i'll the school
during the year 1886. Every department
of the school assembled at p. ID. to listen
to the reports. There were present about
four hundred. One interesting feature of
the occasion was presentation by the
teachers to the retiring superintendent. I.
S. Tolnpkins, of a set of Jameson, Fausset
& Browns complete Bible commentaries in
four volumes. James F. Drake repre-
scented the teachers, and made a
most interesting eight-minute speech.
Consistency was the especial theme of his talk
and most fittingly ne pointed out how con-
slant had been the efforts of Mr.. Tompkins
in behalf of the schools interests during the
past year.
The state superintendent was. of course,
surprised, 3ut his usual calm equipoise was
equal to the emergency. He replied in
touchikg and suitable language. In his re-
marks he stated that some time ago he had
written to friend to suggest some work
which would be helpful to him in his study
of Gods word, and, strange to say, in re-
spouse thereto, this very commentary was
recommended; therefore he was GU tie sure
the gift would be truly priced. The school
during the year 1887 is to be under the di-
rection of the following officers. viz: John
| Randall, manager primary department and
teacher; Leonard Brisley. secretary and
and treasurer; j. W. Griggs, Jr., general
superintendent, and George Lambert, as
osciate SUPERINTENDENT.

SUNDAY At THE PALACE.

The Great Ice strnciur Already AS
Stunning a Mag nificent Appearance
..NOtes.
Hundreds of teams and men. women and
children in Sunday attire were in Central
park yesterday afternoon. looking at the
half-tinished palace of ice, adlnring its
stately proportions and shivering at the
cold, freezing aspect with which it strikes
the beholder The cutters circied slowly
around the great structure, While the occu-
pants admired the outside, which did not
appear in all its arctic splendor from the
fact of numerous stagings and derricks
that the workmen USE but which was never
theless grand and chilly in spite of the
sunshine which tried in vain to melt some
of the frostwork that has been forming as
the builders have cemented the big blocks
with ice water. Many OF the pedestrians
went within the structure, thereby getting
better idea of its ample proportions and
its chilly nature. The courts within the
principal wall are much larger than those
of last years palace-a fact that does not
appear in so noticeable degree from the
outside. owing to the difference in shape Of
the two palaces. Everywhere within,
save within the central shaft, lay blocks
and chips of ice. as the workmen had left
| them on Saturday night, and between and
over these the visitors moved. rubbing their
noses and ears to prevent the shafts of the
ice king from finding a lodgment there
| 1t occurs to the visitor who has watched
the work on the ice palace that. in
order to have it done on time for the
| opening of the carnival next Monday. some
pretty lively and steady work must be put
on the palace walls. This, however with
good weather, is promised by the builders.
The central tower has now reached height
of, apparently. seventy to eighty feet. and
the walls to the court about it vary from,
perhaps. ten to twenty feet The main
entrance, fronting the Cedar street en-
trance to Central park. is nearly completed,
except that more work is to be done in put
ting together the blocks which will make
the giant ice king, seated over the arched
doorway. At present the outline of tie
form is distinguishable easily, but he will
be a very battered looking king until TIVE
or three days work have brought him into
shape.
The ice rink was patrOniZed yesterday By
hundreds. and as many more spectators
lined the walks about 1t. 1t was decidedly
like carnival day at the palace grounds.

A PHILADELPHIA collector has adopted
an ingenious device for bringing delin-
quent debtors to terms. He makes his
visits to them in carriage on which is
painted in bold letters: "Installment
Collector of Unpaid Bills" The Press
says he stopped the other day at an
uptown house and rang the bell. The
woman who came to the door shook her
head, indicating that she was not pre-
pared to settle her bill. @Well" said
he, "Ill have to drive around again. !"
Womanlike, she looked after him as he
was departing, and her eyes fell on the
carriage with its give-away inscription.
Her face paled with Indignation, and
she could hardly suppress her wrath as
she beckoned the collector to come
back. He returned, and she evidently
settled her account, for he erased some
thing from small book he held in his
hand, and an expression of content
ment played over his face as he jumped
into his carriage and drove of. The
house door closed with bang.
